wThe Spider Behind My Toilet
There's a spider that lives behind my toilet. I've named him Gringo Starr. This isn't about him... or her... crap, I never thought it might be a her... How do you tell what sex a spider is?

The Gringo so far:
04.something.02 - Gringo Starr appears behind my toilet, doesn't really move from his web until:
06.17.02 - Gringo disappears, no note left behind
06.19.02 - Gringo reappears, no explanations
06.21.02 - Gringo disappears again. Why, Gringo, why?
07.01.02 - Gringo Starr 2: Electric Boogaloo (aka The Spider Beside My Toilet) appears.
07.02.02 - Gringo2 pulls a Gringo1, a phenomenon dubbed "Gringo Starrs on the Move: Crush Groove"
07.02.02 - The first and last appearances of Steve Allens 1&2
07.06.02 - Both Gringo Starrs turn up at the same time. GS2 makes a move for GS1 so I incarcerate him in a jam jar overnight.
07.06.02 - Gringo Starr 2: Electric Boogaloo is fed, and then is released into the wild of the backyard.
07.08.02 - Gringo Starr 2 returns?
07.09.02 - Gringo Starr 3: Rise of the Machines appears
07.09.02 - Spider standoff
07.09.02 - Is he... a she?
07.09.02 - Gringo 3 incarcerated!!
07.09.02 - A spider halfway house? IVan Drago arrIVes
07.10.02 - Johnny 5 joins IVan in the Jam Jar Jail
07.11.02 - What do those damn silverfish have to do with it?
07.12.02 - EXTRA EXTRA: spiders released from Jam Jar Jail
07.17.02 - Gringo saw me naked
07.17.02 - they've followed me to work!
07.24.02 - Steve Allen 1 returns for another engagement.
07.30.02 - both Steve Allen's about, no knows of Gringoses though
July 31, 2002 started out like any other day, finding yet another, unnamed spider behind my sink...
but then late that evening, Gringo Starr, long thought missing, was found dead, crushed beneath a bathmat.
condolences came quickly, as I grieved with Gringo Fans before I milked it too far and sympathies abruptly stopped.
But the Gringo StarrLegacy doesn't end there.
And then I killed Steve Allen 1 (oops).
A houseguest on 08.12.02 brought in a new pal, small and white, who has taken up residence somewhere around the stove. Perhaps he will make it to Gringo's bathroom? Time will tell what's in store

My MT site is broken like my sveatband, so I post here until it works again.

Gary is an old friend from high-school back in Thunder Bay whom is now leaving the Big Smoke for the Big Apple. As procedure goes for these "going from one country to t'other" things, Gary must pack up his posessions and move them forthwith from his apartment. And yet, he has no place to be moving them to, as of yet, in New York, so he must storage what cannot be taken along, which, well, is most of it.
Now, let me tell you a little something about Gary... Gary is much like most people I know: he's very good at obtaining things, but sometimes has a little difficulty letting go... what I mean is, essentially, his place is full of "stuff"... paper stuff, box stuff, bookstuff, record/tape/cd stuff, trinket stuff, action figure stuff, clothing stuff, wiry stuff etc etc et al. So Gary's been having a gay old tyme in deciding what to do with "stuff", much "stuff" is being pitched to the recycling bin in the sky (well, actually, it's behind the house), more "stuff" is being given away, and still more stuff is being packed up and put into storage.
But that doesn't quite take care of it all. There's always more "stuff", that stuff that you don't wanna give away, but you also don't want to rot in storage... so, it's that stuff that I've so graciously taken upon my abode. Yes, I am now the curator of the GAK-audio archives (tapes and cds alike)... ... well, such hardships life presents to one.. no?

Anyway, I feel like I've been rambling forever.
Making way for a speedy departure, last night the G-TAB held a "get the fuck outta dodge" party for Gary, along with a welcome chuckwagon for new recruits Sam and Melissa from Vancouver, and David and Jacqui from Montreal. At least Gary feels humbled by the fact that it takes four to replace his one (sure G... whatever)
Anywho, photo's are here, courtesy of:
*Rannie the Photojunkie
*Jayme's Silvergull
*Carla's Infrared Eyes (shots #4 through 9 were actually taken by, ahem, me)
*and Liz will have snaps eventually.

For all that were a little more than worried that Gary would be sent off from Toronto without at least one more hangover, well, there's always tonight when the work bums meet the out of work bum in a "dropped the ball" "surprise" "get the fook oot" party at the little Waq pool place on Queen... huh?
yeah.

more later.

... uh poopy...
apparently, I didn't make sexfast up... well, I did, but I'm not the first
Robot Sushi did it 16 days ago.

I would have come up with "what's for sexfast" eventually.

Netscape nibbles nards
I *hate* Netscape...
I'm no big fan of IE, but at least shit works in IE. Netscape can go fuck off and dematerialize...
Go have a look at my Emote page in Netscape... go... look. Then take a look in IE.
Yeah.
Now you see.
Fuckin' Netscape.

Sexfast
not to be confused with Sexfest.

urhhhhhggggghhhh
spending one of the most humid days in history in a pair of silk boxers underneath a pair of cotton/poly dickies... not exactly the epitome of fun, let me tell you...
just like driving around Mississauga looking for the Krispy Kreme with two other hosers who have an equal understanding (read: naught) of where we were going (Rannie, where were you when we needed you, dammit?)... well, at least the company was good, and the tunes, provided by Patty Schmidt, were pretty funky, including a glitchn0 song mixing pops of hip-hop and the Price is Right theme... yeaoh.

who's more annoying than these guys?
maybe I'll tell you someday.
they shouldn't annoy me this much, but they do.
"I don't wanna be your best friend, go away"

Sexfast
I came up with a marketing slogan for sexfast, the sex that eats like a meal, but I forgot it.
Maybe tomorrow...

yuk
There's no sun, and yet it's unbearably hot and sticky outside.
I'm having difficulty doing what I wanna do with Movable Type (I have a template created that's kinda jazzy... now I have to import all the script/code stuffs... erf)

new word
Sex for breakfast = "seksfast"
or "sexfast" or "seaksfast"... havn't quite figured that one out yet.

"probably?"
Some guy called me a psycho... can you believe it?
Oh. You can.
Right.

Anywho, I've been to this guy's site and it looks like he's been pill-ferring from my site for a long time... Epitonic (links abound), that tree-cutting thingy, CBC Radio 3 (dude, my friend, like, runs that shit...), general babbling and bullshit... well bucky, thanks for the rip-off, the sincerest form of flattery is running you over with a steamroller (ba dum bum- crash).
Nah. Is, all coincidental, I suppose...
No grudges (just don't be surprised, "wRyan", to find you're cookies missing one day...)
*you'll get yours*fistshakingaction*
You got ego, I got self-deprication... there's room for both of us in this blogworld... *eyes narrow* just watchit, capiche?

mouthbreathers
that term makes me laugh...

scariest dude alive?

ah!
